<p><strong>Note:</strong> To complete these procedures, you must be
assigned a role having the necessary permissions.  To determine your
role, follow the directions in <a href="content.hlp?docId=arbu">Participant roles</a>.  For a basic understanding of roles and
permissions, see <a href="content.hlp?docId=arax">Permissions and roles: Overview</a>.</p>

<p>You can import an assessment you previously created, or export one for
use in another IMS QTI-compatible application. To import an
assessment, the source file must be an IMS QTI-compatible
XML file.  For more on the IMS
QTI specification, see the <a href="http://www.imsglobal.org/question/index.html" target="new">IMS Global
Learning Consortium</a>.</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> Because some systems differ in their
interpretations of IMS QTI standards, importing IMS QTI-compatible
files from other systems may not work reliably.</p>

<p>To import an assessment:</p>

<ol><li>In the <a href="content.hlp?docId=arcc">menubar</a> of the relevant site, click <strong><code>Tests
&amp; Quizzes</code></strong>.

<br /><br />
</li><li>On the <code>Assessments</code> page, under "New Assessments" and next to
"Import Assessment", click <strong><code>Import</code></strong>.  

<br /><br />
</li><li>In the "Choose a File" field, enter or browse to the file you wish
to import. 

<br /><br />
</li><li>Select whether your file was originally
exported from a Sakai system or from Respondus.

<br /><br />
</li><li>Click <strong><code>Import</code></strong>.
</li></ol>

<a name="export"> </a><h3>Exporting an assessment</h3>

<p>To export an assessment from Tests &amp; Quizzes:</p>

<ol><li>In the menubar of the relevant site, click <strong><code>Tests
&amp; Quizzes</code></strong>.

<br /><br />
</li><li>On the <code>Assessments</code> page, under "Pending Assessments", next to the title
of the assessment you want to export, click <strong><code>--Select Action</code></strong>,
and then click <strong><code>Export</code></strong>.

<br /><br />
</li><li>Next to "Choose export type:", select either <strong><code>QTI
v 1.2</code></strong> or <strong><code>Content Packaging</code></strong>, and click <strong><code>Export</code></strong>.

<p>If you choose <strong><code>Content Packaging</code></strong>, you will be prompted to
open or save the export file.</p>

<p>Choosing <strong><code>QT v 1.2</code></strong> will generate an XML file that
will display in your browser. When you see the generated
file, use your browser's save command to save it (i.e., export it) to
your hard drive or some other storage device. For example, in most
browsers you would click <strong><code>File</code></strong> and select <strong><code>Save Page
As</code></strong>, and then select a location to save the exported
assessment. By default, the name will be
<code>exportAssessment.xml</code>. If you wish, you can rename this so
you can easily find the assessment later.</p>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> In Internet Explorer 9, if you see a
message saying "Only secure content is displayed", click <strong><code>Show all
content</code></strong>. Another window will pop up, saying that the browser
needs to resend the information.  Click <strong><code>Retry</code></strong>, and the XML
will display in the window. Click <strong><code>File</code></strong> and then <strong><code>Save
As...</code></strong> to save the file. If a <code>Save Webpage</code> window
pops up, click <strong><code>Yes</code></strong>, indicating you wish to save the web page
anyway.
